About The Game

A land of discovery stretches out before you. Explore the beautiful yet rugged world of RiME, a single-player puzzle adventure. In RiME, you play as a young boy who has awakened on a mysterious island after a torrential storm. You see wild animals, long-forgotten ruins and a massive tower that beckons you to come closer. Armed with your wits and a will to overcome – plus the guidance of a helpful fox – you must explore the enigmatic island, reach the tower's peak, and unlock its closely guarded secrets.

Discover the mysterious island at your own pace. Interact with wildlife, search for hidden items or simply take in the sights and sounds. Make your way through the ancient ruins and its hidden marvels by solving puzzles with sound, light and shadow projection, perspective, platforming, and even time manipulation. Dive deeper into the boy’s backstory by uncovering dozens of secrets and collectables, and take in a beautiful world, inspired by the Mediterranean, through a fusion of captivating music and colour.

COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE on the Switch. DO NOT BUY until a major patch is released to address the abysmal frame rates and stuttering issues. So disappointing, had been looking forward to this game on the Switch for months. The developer released a statement acknowledging frame rate issues in TV mode but claimed the gameplay is fine in handheld mode. This is total BS. Even in handheld mode this is the worst performing Switch game I have seen, by a factor of 10. So bad that after attempting to play it for less than an hour I called Nintendo eShop support and demanded a refund.

Tequila Works, if you are listening, I will gladly re-purchase Rime once you release a patch that remedies the atrocious stuttering and makes the game playable in both TV and handheld mode. In the future, if you can't deliver a game to the Switch platform that performs acceptably in both modes, do us a favor and just don't bother.

@RocketRacoonSince the patch, this game really rocks. It is amazing. I think the fixed all the bit described above. The patch is 2GB, so they really fixed alot. I would recomended this game, now that you can actually play it post patch!

I’ve only played this with the patch so I shudder to think what it like was before. There were still several instances of messed of frames but this game is simply fantastic. I did notice the glitches but the story was so compelling that I looked the other way.
